"So mom, let me explain to you the difference between gender and sexual orientation."
I had this talk in a bar a long time ago and boy, a lot of people need this explained!
The only thing I find complicated is when I read about someone such as in a news article and I see the phrase trans man/woman and my brain is like ok so which one are they identifying as? My brain has trouble parsing out if that means they were that gender or are that gender now, I think it means that's what they are now? My best friend is non-binary so I honestly don't spend a ton of time thinking about it. They are just who they are but I certainly could go for an explanations so as to not be an ass by accident.
Still haven't quite figured myself out yet, and I don't see myself turning away from girls post-transition, but... maybe bi? I kind of get all blushy thinking about it though.
Hormones made me gayer, this managed to confuse most people Iâve told (I had sparing and mild attraction to men before, none after, but the difference was enough for me to notice after losing it that Iâd had it)
